He who has learned to pray has learned the greatest secret of a holy and happy life. - William Law
Weekly Thought
A Classic Devotional from E. M. Bounds
The people who are so greatly needed in this age of the church are those who have learned the business of prayinglearned it on their knees, learned it in the need and agony of their own hearts. Praying people are the one commanding need of this day, as of all other days, if God is to intervene in the world.
In doing God's work there is no substitute for praying. People of prayer cannot be replaced with other kinds of people. People of financial skill, people of education, people of worldly influencenone of these can possibly substitute for people of prayer.
The people to whom Jesus Christ committed the fortunes and destiny of His church were people of prayer. To no other kind of people has God ever committed Himself.
Lord, I don't know what You have in store for me, but teach me to prepare myself for what's next through prayer and communion with You. Amen.
